Letters Patent No. 92,088, dated .Tune\29, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT morsTmG-Mlcmrms.

The Schedule referred `to in these Letters Patentand making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. S. PARK, of' Montondon, inthe county of Northumberland, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newanduseful Improvements in Hoisting-Apparatus; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and general arrangement of a hoisting-appara@ tus,7 as will be hereinafter fullysetforth. i

I n order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, and

Figure 2, a plan view of my machine.

A represents a frame, of any suitable construction, in the centre of which vis placed a vertical shaft, a,- which passes through the frame, and Vis at its lower end provided' with acircular disk or projection, which rests on a bar, b, under the frame A.

Around the shaft a, inside ofthe frame, is placeda spool, B, to which the hoisting-rope is attached.

The spool B is, on its under side, provided with a col "lane, which `extends dow/awards, around the shaft c,

into anenlargementofthe hole in the frame through which the shaft Ipasses. This collar thus forms the support and lower bearing for the spool B..

The spool is on its upper side provided with another collar, d, which extends upward around the shaft a, through the frame A, and is, above said frame, provided with a wheel, C, which .has ou its under side a series of ribs, e e, radiating from the centre and extending beyond the outer periphery of the wheel.

The upper end of the shaft a is, above the wheel C,

provided with a cap or wheel, D, ii-omwhich thearm or lever E extends, thehorse being attached or hitched vto the outer end of said lever.

Another' arm or lever, F, also extends from the cap D, to which vthe horses head' is attached, as usual in such m1chines.-

It will be seen that if the horse is started, the cap i spool,- it is only necessary to turn the lever G, so that its lower end becomes released from the rib e, and the horse may continue its movement without interfer-V ing. e

Sometimes it would naturally happen that the rope would be nnwound too fast, and to prevent this occurreu'ceI provide the lever G, with au arm, f, which eX- tends across the arm E, and by means of which the lever is provided tosaid arm E.

kThe arm or rod f has at its outer en d a brake, h, so

arranged that when the lever G is thrown in 'gear with any one ot' the ribs e, said brake will be raised up; but when the lever is thrown out of gear with the ribs,

Ythen the brake will bear against the wheel C, which, for this purpose, is made of metal, and by' thisl means the spool B is prevented from turningr too fast. Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire lto secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The spool B, provided with collars c and (l, and

wheel C, having ribs c e, all substantial-ly as shown and described.

2. The combination ofthe lever G, arm j, brake h,

and arm E, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth. A

3. In combination with the spool B, and wheel C,

with its ribs e e, the sh tft a, wheel D, arm'E, lever G,`.

and brake h, all constructed and arranged lcooperate substantially as 'and for the purposes herein" setv forth.v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto'set my hand, this 5th day of March, 1869. Witnesses: J. S. PARK.

I noPoLD EVERT,

CORNELIUS Cox.
